Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | May 24, 2011
Reported on May 24, 2011
| THIS IS MY FOURTH TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT MY VEHICLE PULLING. I JUST BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, BECAUSE MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. THE NEW TIRES WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND BALANCED BY DISCOUNT TIRE, BUT MY VEHICLE STILLS TRACKS TO THE RIGHT. I CANNOT LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A SECOND WITHOUT IT WANTING TO CHANGE LANES WHEN I AM GOING STRAIGHT. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES ALREADY AND HAD THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN PERFORMED. THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE, AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO FOUND REPORTS OF THIS TRACKING ISSUE ONLINE. THE CAR IS STILL PULLING TO THE RIGHT 60 - 70 PERCENT OF THE TIME, AND IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO CONTROL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WHEN I AM TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH, OR HIGHER. IF I HIT THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD; THE CAR WILL BOUNCE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT STILL SEEMS TO BE TRACKING PRIMARILY TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE TRACKING OF THIS CAR IS SO ERRATIC. I HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL RELIABLE SOURCES BELOW, WHICH FURTHER EXPLAIN THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING. *TR | |
